Butterflies

Today's Guardian newspaper has an interesting feature on the decline of Britain's butterflies.

We have lots of butterflies visiting us at the Regent's Park Wildlife Garden largely due to the plants we select to attract them. We also leave an area of nettles that attracts tortoiseshell and red admirals.

If you have a garden, you can do your bit by planting buddleia, ice-plant and michaelmas daisy. If you only have a window-box, try lavender.
